With Recent Big Moves, IceHogs Are Suddenly Primed For Deep AHL Playoff Run

A Blackhawks team is playing in the playoffs tonight! Well, not the real Blackhawks, and not the NHL playoffs, either. That future is still a few years off. But that doesn’t take anything away from the fact that Chicago’s AHL affiliate, the Rockford IceHogs, has set themselves up nicely for a deep AHL playoff run, one that begins tonight at 7:00 p.m. CDT.

While the experience won’t exactly match the thrill of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, the Calder Cup Playoffs are certainly something to celebrate.
